+++E Tenebrae Lux IV - Dark Angels Strategium+++

[Captain Semper]

@ Cerroneth: Congratulations on your completion and on your follow-up vow. If we are to lack in numbers, we may as well leverage our existing vows by reviewing early!

@ Spaced Hulk: Welcome Brother! Good luck with this awesome sum of minis you got there... :tu:

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

[Furius]

Finally all the parts I needed have arrived, and I am ready for my first vow: A Stormraven - with spare parts of the Nephilim and donning the order's heraldry. With it's twin-linked lascannon, typhoon missile launcher, hurricane bolters, searchlight and locator beacon it is worth 266 points. It features a bellydancer and an idle SpaceMarine in it's cargo area, but I don't think that I can add them, too.

[FinylCut]

Greetings brothers. I answer the call for reinforcements.

I, FinylCut, rise to the challenge of E TENEBRAE LUX and vow to complete:

Deathwing Terminator Squad - chainfist, assault cannon

from Codex: Dark Angels of total value 245 points on or before August 1st, 2015. Success will bring eternal glory to the First Legion and failure will doom me to bear the Badge of the Oathbreaker until the year-end.

Amazed that Ancient Cerroneth repeatedly keeps completing the first oath in all our competitions. I swear the two of you must have an army of servitors working on the construction of your models so you can focus on the painting aspects.

 

me on the otherhand... I look back at 2013 in shames seeing the three LS tempests which I had managed to put together and undercoat...and still ran out of time to complete...seriously? It's Ravenwing and I had undercoated it black.... Don't know how you gusy do it... but I'm gonna stress myself out this time for a completion.

 

Really good to see many of the stalwarts of previous competitions getting involved. We now need much new blood! Come on you young cubs... Let's show Chaos what it means to be the First of the Best!

[Captain Semper]

UNFORGIVEN GATHER FOR THE FINAL ASSAULT!

[Ania Redfang]

So I finished my vow I believe. 2 razorbacks, whirlwind, bikes, dreadnought and aegis defense line.

So, new vow. I vow to complete the following: Devastator Squad with 4 plasma cannons, Interrogator Chaplin with plasma pistol, Supreme Grand Master Arexiel Orobus (Azreal rules) and Cypher, for a total of 660points I think.

Thanks

[Epher]

A little progress on the command squad.  The banner bearer is magnetized and is holding a chain sword.  Any suggestions on the rope belts?  I was thinking brown?  All in favor?  All opposed? 

 

I pooched the eyes on the second from the left.  :(  I didn't realize how bad until now.  Still requires touch ups on the pauldrons and white detailing is next too.

 

[SvenONE]

I think the Deathwing bone would probably do well for the belts, looks like the color you've got on the lining of the robes too so it would match.

[Captain Semper]

Congratulations on your completion The Call of the Hunt! :tu: And I see you waste no time in re-vowing! Good luck mate! 

 

Now are there any more Unforgiven to join us? This year our ranks are pretty thin... C'mob guys, even a single mini will make the difference!
